Ah, I see. The 1 access is probably causing a NULL ptr exception and
everything is handled nicely. The only problem is when this is run on
machines that doesn't have an mmu (or machines that handles bad addresses
differently)

Yes. (hm, I am so used using -1 for special values :)
IMHO, the best fix would probably be to put this into
the STACKTRACEINIT macro since god knows where this code is reused and a
guess that it won't be happy about that (*)1 there either.
